OpenBTS can be used (and there have been some successful quite large installations). Hay Systems were meant to be producing a 2G (GSM/GPRS) femtocell, but they seem to have gone quiet.

I have done an OpenBTS research and try project and OpenBTS is working great. A complete set to roll out OpenBTS is not cheap but as far as I know all femtocell kind of solutions need serious investments and OpenBTS seems to be the cheapest among them. Asterisk is actually one of the lego pieces the OpenBTS solution is made of.
